Paleontology can also be taken as part of a BSc with Honors degree.

Why study Biochemistry? (Honors)

Biochemistry explores the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for change occurring in living cells, providing the basis for practical advances in areas as diverse as medicine, agriculture, veterinary medicine, and forensics.

The Honors Biochemistry degree is a structured program that includes a directed research project in the senior year. You can access unique opportunities like our research abroad course and Certificate in Biomedical Research to further develop your research skills and gain experience that will take your education in new directions.

Biochemistry can also be taken as part of a BSc with Specialization degree.

Why take the BSc Specialization degree?

The Bachelor of Science Specialization degree provides a focused education in one program. You will take most of your courses in your main subject area, and are expected to maintain a higher standard of academic achievement. A Specialization degree can provide the background to help you proceed to a higher degree, but its primary function is to provide a comprehensive education at the undergraduate level.

This program can also be taken as part of a BSc Specialization degree.

Operations Management
Operations Management (OM) professionals provide a critical function for organizations, analyzing data and behaviour to optimize processes, manage resources, and improve profitability and service.

The Honors in Mathematical Physics program gives you the opportunity to combine studies in high-level mathematics with studies in high-level physics. The program is designed to teach you how mathematics is fundamental for theoretical and experimental physics and how physical systems can be described and analyzed mathematically. By completing this degree you will be well suited to pursue graduate studies in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering.

This program can only be taken as part of a BSc with Honors degree.

The Bachelor of Science General degree offers a wide variety of majors and minors, allowing you to create a diversified degree based on your interests. Majors must be in Science, but minors can also be from courses offered by Arts; Business; or Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences. You can also take a double major in Science.

Why study Physical Sciences?

• This program allows you to study topics in both chemistry and physics, then branch out in the direction that suits you best. You can choose from a wide breadth of courses in astronomy, biochemistry, chemistry, geophysics, mathematical physics, and physics, giving you the ability to pursue a truly customizable and interdisciplinary degree.
• Physical Sciences can only be taken as part of a BSc General degree or BSc/BEd Combined degree. This major can be taken with a Business minor.

Why study Mathematics? (Specialization program)

The Specialization in Mathematics program allows you to concentrate their studies in mathematics to a greater extent than is possible under the General program. You will design your program in consultation with an advisor from the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences; this flexibility allows you to combine the study of mathematics with the study of a related discipline such as Physics or Statistics.

Mathematics can also be taken as part of a BSc General or BSc with Honors degree.
